Fabric sofas

A cornerstone of interiors, a fabric sofa is the go-to seating for so many busy family homes. Available in vibrant brights and sophisticated neutrals, Habitat's extensive collection of fabric sofas will help you make a big, comfy style statement. Low key and neutral or bright and sassy? It doesn’t matter - our buyers seek out the very best textiles to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life while looking fabulous too.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT SIZE FABRIC SOFA TO BUY?

At Habitat we have such a wide range of fabric sofas, you really will be spoilt for choice. So where to begin? Well, if your family tends to be on the big side, or you invite friends over a lot, then a large, 3 or 4 seater sofa
is the only way to go. Alternatively, if your room is relatively small but you like to fit in as many people as possible in it at times, then a corner sofa
will be right up your street. This style works to create more seating room, without compromising on the actual space you have available. In addition, a break away from the norm, corner sofas can add a touch of chic to any room in the house.

If your flat is somewhat bijoux, or the room has so much furniture in it already that you need to be clever with the space, then a small fabric sofa is the way to go. Chic and compact, it will still do the job very nicely. Remember though, no matter what size sofa you plump for, you always have to consider how it will work within the rest of the room. Will it fit properly? Will it be swamped by your sideboard? Stand too tall over the TV?

Not too sure of the answers to these questions? Take a quick look at our sofa measuring guide
for a few tips on how to manipulate your room. Take your time - It’s a big piece of furniture, and an equally big decision.

WHAT STYLES DO HABITAT'S FABRIC SOFAS COME IN?

The beauty of a fabric sofa is that one colour and texture can look very different from the next, allowing you to explore a number of different ideas and themes for your home decor. At Habitat we offer modern fabric sofas, in boxy shapes and sleek designs that play into the minimalist vibe. We also have retro-inspired designs - it might be quite the oxymoron but, trust us, retro chic is very ‘now’.

You really can’t go wrong with a fabric chaise sofa. A Hollywood-esque seat for watching old-school movies? Sounds like the perfect fit to us.

WHAT COLOURS OF FABRIC SOFA ARE AVAILABLE?

One thing you can never say about a fabric sofa, is that it doesn’t come in a multitude of colours.
